From laser-on time to lithotripsy duration: improving the prediction of lithotripsy duration with 'Kidney Stone Calculator' using artificial intelligence.

World journal of urology
INTRODUCTION: "Kidney Stone Calculator" (KSC) helps to plan flexible ureteroscopy, providing the stone volume (SV) and an estimated duration of laser lithotripsy (eLD). eLD is calculated from in vitro ablation rates and SV. KSC's accuracy has been de...

Comparative investigation of bagging enhanced machine learning for early detection of HCV infections using class imbalance technique with feature selection.

PloS one
Around 1.5 million new cases of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) are diagnosed globally each year (World Health Organization, 2023). Consequently, there is a pressing need for early diagnostic methods for HCV. This study investigates the prognostic accuracy o...

Effect of the exposure to brominated flame retardants on hyperuricemia using interpretable machine learning algorithms based on the SHAP methodology.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are classified as important endocrine disruptors and persistent organic pollutants; nevertheless, there is no comprehensive investigation to evaluate the association between BFRs and hyperuricemia, and t...

Evaluating real-world performance of an automated offline glaucoma AI on a smartphone fundus camera across glaucoma severity stages.

PloS one
PURPOSE: Leveraging an artificial intelligence system (AI) for glaucoma screening can mitigate the current challenges and provide prompt detection and management crucial in averting irreversible blindness. The study reports the real-world performance...

Multi-site validation of an interpretable model to analyze breast masses.

PloS one
An external validation of IAIA-BL-a deep-learning based, inherently interpretable breast lesion malignancy prediction model-was performed on two patient populations: 207 women ages 31 to 96, (425 mammograms) from iCAD, and 58 women (104 mammograms) f...

Micronutrient supplementation influences the composition and diet-originating function of the gut microbiome in healthy adults.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Studies in-vitro and in animals propose that vitamins and minerals can alter the human gut microbiome. Human trials replicating these findings are scarce or used micronutrient supplementation in supraphysiological doses. We explore...

Predicting complications in breast reconstruction: External validation of a machine learning model.

Journal of plastic, reconstructive & aesthetic surgery : JPRAS
BACKGROUND: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with immediate implant-based breast reconstruction provides aesthetic and psychosocial benefits, but nipple-areolar complex (NAC) necrosis remains a significant risk. This study externally validated a previ...

Computed tomography-derived quantitative imaging biomarkers enable the prediction of disease manifestations and survival in patients with systemic sclerosis.

RMD open
INTRODUCTION: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex inflammatory vasculopathy with diverse symptoms and variable disease progression. Despite its known impact on body composition (BC), clinical decision-making has yet to incorporate these biomarkers....

Impact of mHealth on Postoperative Quality of Life, Self-Management, and Dysfunction in Patients With Oral and Maxillofacial Tumors: Nonrandomized Controlled Trial.

JMIR mHealth and uHealth
BACKGROUND: With a focus on postoperative dysfunctions that may occur after maxillofacial tumor resection and the difficulties faced during home rehabilitation, we developed a mobile health app based on nurse-patient cooperation. The app extends reha...

Suicide Risk Screening in Jails: Protocol for a Pilot Study Leveraging the Mental Health Research Network Algorithm and Health Care Data.

JMIR research protocols
BACKGROUND: Suicide in local jails occurs at a higher rate than in the general population, requiring improvements to risk screening methods. Current suicide risk screening practices in jails are insufficient: They are commonly not conducted using val...
